. „.ip |(|E[)rifFin If Daily News. fe VOLUME 17 Griffin, Ga. Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬ gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬ bolical description, as the record of the last five years will show. During that time it has built aud put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton factory aud la now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pntupa la ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬ tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory opened up the finest granite quarry in the United State®, and has many other enter¬ prises in .outempl&tion. It has secured another..tilroad niaety miles long, and while located on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the W<st, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to its ultimate completion. With ts five white and three colored ohnrches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian ohoroh. It has inoreased its population by nearly one-fifth. It has at¬ tracted mound its borders fruit growers from nearly every State in the Union, until it is now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chards and vineyards. It is the home of the grape an 1 its wine making capacity has doubled every year. It has successfully inaugurated a system of public schools, with a seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the record of a half decade ami simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, in the world. Griffin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile apd roiling country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and 7,000 people, and they are all of the right sort—wide-awake, up to the tiinee, ready to weleome strangers and anxious to secure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be aiiy less wel¬ come if they bring money to help build up the town. There is about only one thing we need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel. We have several small ones, but their accom¬ modations are entirely too limited for onr business, pleasure and health seeking guests. If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬ tion for a hotel in the South, just mention Griffin. Griffin is the place where the Griffin News is published—daily and weekly—the nest newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia. Please enclose stamps in sending for sample copies. This brief sketch will answer July 1st, 188fe. By January 1st, 1889, it will have to be changed to keep up with the times.

The most angUSdly reliable Ie in America, GRIFFIN GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15 1888 THE TRUSTS MUST GO I GROWN TOO BOLD, THEY HAVE PASSED THE LIMIT, At Which Forbearance Ceases—An English Syndicate Forming • a Qeer Trust. New York, Aug. 14 —Special), There has been considerable gossip in brewing circles recently over a re port that a syndicate of British capi talists was trying to purchase a large Dumber of Amreican breweries. No one seemed to know just who were in the movement, nor the precise plan of operations. There appeared to bo an abundance of money enlist ed for the enterprise, however, while it is freely given out that almost any important brewry who wanted to sell his business, could find in the syndi cate a cash buyer. But no actual purchases in this neighborhood were to have been made until to day, when, iu a special sable to the New York World, the statement was made that two well known concerns had been bought by a stock company, in which English capitalists had largely invested. These concerns were the H. Clausen and Sons Brewing Com pany, iu East Forty seventh street, and FlanagaD, & Co., in Tenth avenue. The name of the new com pany is said to be the New York Breweries company, and its capital is pot at $3,000,000. None of the important men in either of the con cerns thus consolidated were in town to day. If there is any truth in cur rent gossip, the operations of the new company will be extended, and may even assume the proportions of a “trust” A gentleman thoroughly conver sant with local brewing affairs said to a reporter to day that it was a fact that English capitalists were trying to buy American breweries. A broker who is acting as the New York agent of the syndicate has offered to buy out at favorable terms and for cash any brewer who may wish to re 1 tire. No establishment worth leBS than $250,000 was to be considered but no limit was placed at the other extreme. This agent said that the syndicate had already secured four breweries in Boston. The reporters informant did not believe that any effortwould be made to form a'trust.' It is stated that Conrad N. Jordan, William A. Larlingund others New York bankers are among the Ameri can directors in the Syndicate- Secretary A. E. Seifert of the Brewers’ Association safd to day that the new syndicate would not af feet the issociatiou. The capacity of the Clausen brewry has been great ly increased daring the past year, and the establishment is worth fully a million dollars. The ClauseDB brew both beer and ale while Flanagan May Sc Co., are only ale brewers. ihe Karin Lands of Georgia. The Middle Georgia Progress is on the right line whon it says: ‘‘No better investment is offered capital than the farming lands of Middle Georgia. Ten years from now a retro spect of values will be startling and many a Joubtiug Thomas of to day will exclaim: “If I had only invested I’d have made a fortune.” The only trouble about this assertion is that it does not go far enough. The same thiug might have been said not only of Middle Georgia, but cf the entire slate and other southern states. Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa have about the same density of population that Georgia has. Not one of them equals Georgia in natural advantages not agricultural. Not one of them ha9 better land, and not one of them is more healthy. For agricultural, manufacturing, mining or commercial advantages, Georgia surpasses any of these states, and yet the average price of land there is Wn * 5 POWDER Absolutely Pure.

The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the p diticai battle ground Jeffersonian of the Republic. Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Star. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem tire government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past it has been mis werv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. - It is for him now—forCleve- land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in onr national aflairs, and of continued national tranquility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy the Stab is the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. *It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them np in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘'protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Stab is a great newspaper. Its tone is i are and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Stak is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the sam. amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in its col umns, The Weekly Stak is a large paper giving the cream of the news the w irld over, with special features which make it the most complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for jhis dollar invested in The Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

There is but one inference from this. Our land is nnnatura ly cheap. It ought now to bring four or five times as much as it does, and it can not be many years before it will. The immigrant who comes to Geor gia and buys land will make au invest ment more certain to rise in value than any other that be could make, and that advance must come soon. The present state of things is unnat oral and cannot continue long. We have the advantage over each of these states in rapid development that is taking placa in other than ag ricultural channels. Our mineral wealth is being mined, our streams are turning the busy wheels of fac tories, our granite and marble beds are coming into nse, our forests are being turned into homes, and the time is near at hand when we will have a great army of consumers of agricultural products here, not at traded by legislation but by the bounties of uature- This will give our agricultural classes a great advau tage over those of a purely agricultu ral state like Wisconsin or Iowa. THE YELLOW FEVER. The Towns Quarantining—-The Ne¬ cessity for Cleanliness. Up lo the last report, there had been twenty-five cases of yellow fever in Jacksonville, though only three deaths. The city is becoming deserted and refugees from other parts of the State are flying north ward. Cities which at first boasted of their cleanliness and health and immunity from the disease have be come alarmed and quarantined against the epidemic, until refugees are barred out as far north as a line extending from Columbus through Macon to Augusta. The Columbus paper came out one morning boast ing that Columbus needed no such regulations, and the same day the authorities instituted a quarantine as rigorous as in Savannah. No alarm is felt or expressed here, but on the contrary a feeling of tho utmost security prevails up to date. There has n°ver been any yellow fever here, and it is thought that the climatic conditions are such that it could not break out among the in¬ habitants, although it might develop in a person who had just been ex¬ posed in an infected district. But we can have bilious and typhoid fever and other maladies sufficiently serious to be worth guard ing against. No city, however well situated, can afford to neglect its sanitary condition, and everything should be done at this season to make and ke> p the city clean. This can not be done by the authorities aione, but must depend upon the carefulness and conscientiousness of the citizens. Filth should not be al lowed to accumulate, nor water to stand in pools. One of the best and easiest disinfectants in many cases is dry sweet dirt. For other methods, we present the following, taken from an article in the July Centnry on “disease germs and how to combat them.” First—Corrosive sublimate (mer curie chloral.-), sulphate of copper, and chloride of lime are among the best disinfectants, the first Iwc being poisonous. At some drug stores these canno. be bought by the pound. Second. -A quarter oi a pound of corrosive sublimate and a pound of sulphate of copper in one gallon of water makes a concentrated solution to keep in stock. Let us call this “solution A.” jyiTbird. —For the ordinary disin feeling solution add a half a pint of “solution A” to a gallon of water. while costing less than two a gallon, is a good strength general use. Use in about eqaal y in disinfeoting choleraic or fever excreta. Fourth,—A four per cent, solu * Motts’Apple Vinegar! Just received IJbl S. R. & John U. Motts Pnre Apple Vinegar, Four Years Old. G. W. Clark & Son. tion of good chloride of lime or a quarter pint of “solution A” to a gallon of water is used to wash wood work, flooTs and wooded furniture after fumigation and ventilation. Cesspools, etc., should be well covered on top with a mixture of chloride of lime with ten parts of dry sand. The solution of mercuric chloride must not be placed in a wooden vessel. Let us take care of our fair city and save its reputation along with our own health. We believe the city to be usually clean, but wc can not be too clean. IN THE CAR. What Spalding County Will Exhibit to the North. The immigration car has come and gone to Newnan, and bore with it the following very creditable exhi¬ bit for Spalding county: German millet, new corn, Lucerne clover 4th crop, Bermuda grass, crab grass, blue grass and wild clover, grown by M.

Altogether the exhibit will be a very one, and when the new are shipped Griffin and Ming County will occupy their usuJ position—very near the top. We did not anticipate half as many and great credit is due Cunningham for the manner in which he worked up such a display. There wiil be specimen products about fifty counties, Com mis Giessner says, enough to fill car.
